    We Didn't Know How to Make It…Yet (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    We had 206 panic buttons, a Velcro problem, some very determined adhesive…and absolutely no desire to relearn CAD. What started as a pretty mundane problem at our school district turned into a perfect example of why we created Beyond Yet. We needed a permanent holder for a panic button. We couldn't find one to buy. We knew a 3D printer could probably make one. We just didn't know how to design it. So Jim asked a question: What if AI could do the part we didn't know how to do? It could. In this e

    AI Isn't The Point! (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    After four years of talking about artificial intelligence, we're changing the conversation. Beyond Yet isn't about AI news, prompt lists, or another collection of how-to tutorials. It's about what happens when something you've always wanted to learn, build, try, or create suddenly isn't as far out of reach as you thought.

Instead of asking whether data centers should come to town, they explore how communities can negotiate smarter agreements that protect residents while creating long-term benefits. They discuss: • Why your town has more leverage than you think • Protecting water before constru

    Before the Data Center Comes (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    AI doesn't live in the cloud. It lives in physical buildings that require enormous amounts of electricity, cooling, land, and infrastructure. In Part 1 of this three-part series, Jim and Maurie Beasley explain what AI data centers are, why they're expanding so rapidly, who builds them, and why communities across America are beginning to face difficult decisions about bringing them into their neighborhoods. If you've heard about billion-dollar AI projects but aren't sure what they actually mean,
